I could give you a lot of important reasons why scriptability is so important. What is the reason for scriptability to be left out? After all, we don't want to reinvent MS Windows, do we? To be able to script the lock screen timeout is specially important. Am I supposed to follow menus each time I want to watch TV? If it was scriptable, I could bind a key to it, so I would just press a key combination when I wanted to increase the timeout. I could even write a script that did this before calling the TV-viewing program, and restored the default configuration after the TV-viewing program ended. If you can implement this feature, I would be thankful. By the way, the Enlightenment team deserves congratulations for their excellent work. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free. --Linus Torvalds ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
